Date Night and the Tale of (A More Real) Love Story

So, last week on Sunday, Brett told me, "We are going on a date on Friday, it's going to be a surprise and I'm going to plan it!" Thursday night rolled around and he hadn't found a babysitter yet. Friday afternoon I found a sitter. He invited our friends Troy & Katie over for BBQ dinner (that he cooked)and the surprise was that we went dancing at "The MAC" which is sort of a dive of a place where one side has an older crowd and ballroom dancing, and the other side has DJ with younger music and swing/chacha/latin/etc. We hadn't been there for years and it ended up being so much fun! We had a great time! Thanks, Honey for the date night! I saw this video on a blog I follow and it cracked me up. Watch it 'til the end, it's pretty funny!

The summer that couldn't get better

We are busy hiking, swimming, BBQing, going to the park, playing, dancing, watching fireworks, cleaning (quite the task with a busy todler), going for walks, spending time with Brett (Now that Brett has a M- Fri position at work, and doesn't have school, we get to have family dinner every night for the first time in our entire 6.5 year marriage!) and tonight, we are going to the rodeo! Yeeha!
Ah.... I have to say, Life is good. The best it's ever been.....And that says a lot!
I feel like the luckiest person in the world to have Brett for my husband and Weston for my son! I love them so much and they mean everything to me.
Now if only I could go to Kauai, HI to spend a fun and relaxing week in paradise to celebrate my sweetheart's 30th Birthday, now that would be absolutely perfect. Wait a minute, that's what I'm doing next month... =) Honestly, could life get any better?
Well, we have some goals in mind for the future like getting a house and growing our family that will take who knows how long to achieve, and Brett is planning on starting courses this Fall to get his CFP and maybe even his Masters after that- so I know it won't always be such smooth sailing, but for now I'm just enjoying this wonderful time for all it's worth!
I'm not sure if anyone even looks at this blog anymore and I wouldn't blame them because lately it's been a lousy family update. I often abandon it and never know when I will be back....but i will, and I hope to post some pictures to match, including pictures of Weston's new big boy haircut!

Visiting Daddy's Work

On the June 24th, my work had an openhouse for family. Nicky and Weston got to walk through our building. Weston played around on my computer and got to see the view from my 5th floor cubical. They books and prizes. Weston got to spin the wheel and took home a ball. It was a short excursion, but was fun to show off my workspace.

Afterward, we went to our favorite Thai food restaurant, Thaifoon and ate our favorite dish, "Evil Jungle Princess". Weston got a bento box with teryaki noodles.
